Etherios Cloud Connector very first porting for mbed. Tested in an LPC1768

Etherios Cloud Connector for Embedded v2.1.0.3 library for mbed. Early porting.

This port is centered mainly in the platform code. So it should work properly with the provided examples of send_data, device_request, data_points, RCI and firmware_update (stub implementation, not a real one... yet ;-)). Filesystem is not implemented yet, and some examples might need changes.

To run, it needs the following libraries: - mbed - mbed-rtos - EthernetInterface

spastor 0:1c358ea10753 5 INTRODUCTION
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 6
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 7 Cloud Connector for Embedded is a software development
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 8 package used to enable a device to exchange information with
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 9 Device Cloud. Cloud Connector supports application to device
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 10 data interaction (messaging), application and device data
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 11 storage, and remote management of devices. Devices are
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 12 associated with Device Cloud through the Internet or other
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 13 wide area network connections, which allows for communication
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 14 between the device and customer applications, via Device Cloud.

spastor 0:1c358ea10753 26
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 27 Device ID autoprovision: a device connecting through EDP protocol
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 28 can ask Device Cloud for an autogenerated Device ID instead of
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 29 providing one.
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 30
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 31 Added two new connector_initiate_request_id memebers for canceling
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 32 timed-out SM sessions: connector_initiate_session_cancel and
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 33 connector_initiate_session_cancel_all.
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 34
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 35 Data Service / Data Points: status callback is always called
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 36 in both EDP (TCP) and SM (UDP or SMS) either a response is needed
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 37 or not.
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 38
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 39 Optimization in the SM protocol implementation.
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 40

spastor 0:1c358ea10753 138 v2.0.0
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 139
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 140 Corrected ARM misalignment warnings, which cause compilation
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 141 errors due to -Werror. The casting was between byte and word
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 142 pointers, which verified safe in the original code. A cast

spastor 0:1c358ea10753 144
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 145 KNOWN LIMITATIONS
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 146
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 147 v2.1.0
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 148
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 149 If a Data Point over TCP contains a string that does not fit in a
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 150 single message it will not be sent properly, probably creating a
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 151 Data Stream with no Data Points in it on Device Cloud. The maximum
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 152 value for a string among a Data Point is 497. This does not affect
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 153 SM transports.
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 154
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 155 v2.0.1
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 156
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 157 When using RCI facility, if a setting value is set to a string
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 158 longer than CONNECTOR_RCI_MAXIMUM_CONTENT_LENGTH (defined at
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 159 connector_config.h), the setting is overwritten and the response
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 160 received has both success and error fields. [IC4C-180]

spastor 0:1c358ea10753 166 This release includes SM protocol over SMS support and other SM
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 167 protocol implementation improvements. Additionally, it adds support
spastor 0:1c358ea10753 168 for Device ID autoptovision and improves the behavior of Data
